Mr. Beecham, Director of Schools, enjoyed celebrating Read Across America Week with the kindergarten class at Pin Oak Elementary School during Mrs. Lewis' library time.
Read Across America Week, held during the first week of March to honor Dr. Seuss’s birthday, encourages a love of reading among children. Organized by the National Education Association (NEA), the week features activities like storytimes, reading challenges, and author visits, all aimed at making reading fun and engaging.
Every year, Henderson County Elementary schools participate in the celebration, hosting events to inspire young readers. The week highlights the importance of literacy and celebrates diverse books that reflect various cultures and experiences. It’s a time to remind students that reading opens the door to endless possibilities.
